Sweetheart deal
You spoke of a hidden treasure.
I began ransacking my house.
Neighbors witnessed the obsessive lunacy –
turning convenient arrangements into utter chaos.
Thieves enter my dwelling now,
have a good laugh and go home.
Underneath, we must all be great beings–
else our suffering has no meaning.
Perhaps you’ve found a soul mate
who’s come by a different route
but who has evolved in a similar way.
Meher Baba is the soul mate of the world,
the Great Strider, flag-bearer,
breaker of the ribbon strung across infinity.
His journey is your journey.
His journey is your journey.
This Avatar business is a sweetheart deal –
how did I ever sneak into the movie house
and find a seat on the third row?
O child of God, allow Meher Baba to simplify your life –
turning your ten thousand desires into One.
(from A Jewel in the Dust)
